Zildjian K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash - 17"

Zildjian 17" K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash Cymbal (K1418) 

Raw, earthy, and white-hot. The Zildjian 17" K Custom Special Dry Trash Crash (K1418) is an absolute multi-tonal weapon engineered to inject a fast, dirty bite into your setup. Forged from legendary B20 cast bronze, this paper-thin, heavily hammered FX cymbal is characterized by its fully unlathed, raw natural finish and a unique pattern of multi-sized "trash holes" drilled across the bow. It explodes the absolute instant your stick strikes the edge, unleashing an ultra-dry, dark, and complex bark that chokes itself out almost immediately. Perfect for modern jazz, hip-hop, electronic beats, or accent work, the K1418 delivers that gritty, low-pitched, "one-and-done" trash effect that adds instant attitude to any performance or studio session.

Key Features

• Explosive, Multi-Sized Hole Cutouts: Features precision-drilled circular cutouts across the body that distort the air movement through the metal, accelerating the explosion while cutting the sustain short for an aggressive, trashy bark.
• Paper-Thin Special Dry Profile: Designed with an extra-thin weight allocation to lower the fundamental pitch pocket, creating a dark, complex wash that requires minimal stick velocity to fully open up.
• Raw, Stripped-Down Natural Finish: Left fully unlathed to retain the natural, crusty oxide scale from the baking oven, naturally dampening excessive ring and pinning down overtones for a bone-dry acoustic footprint.
• Heavy Cluster Hammering Matrix: Stamped with deep, localized hammer marks that create structural turbulence within the bronze, forcing a highly personalized, dark tone with a signature "trashy" white-noise bite.
• Instant, Decay-On-Demand Performance: Engineered to get in and out of a musical mix in a flash. The combination of the thin taper and custom hole configuration means your accents hit like lightning and vanish without muddying subsequent bars.
